CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 2, 1920. Serial No. 355,586.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK P. WILLIAMS, a citizen of the United States, residin at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and tate of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar and Cigarette Holders, of which the following is a specification.

' means. These and other objects will appear when the detailed stood.

Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same.

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3--'3 of Fi' 2.

ig.-4 is a perspective of the ash pan alone.

Fig. 6 is an inverted view of the hood.

or designates a cigar holder or cigarette holder of the conventional type. b designates an ash pan or ash catcher which oomprises a simple stamping or drawing provided at one end with semi-oylindrical walls 0 adapted to be spread slightly by drawing the tapered cigar or cigarette holder at through the walls from the inside of the ash catcher. This serves to securely clamp the ash pan or catcher on to the cigar holder and has the obvious advantage of being able to take various cigar holders that may vary in diameter or contour. The neck portion 0 merges into the pan portion of the catcher by means of the intermediate diverging section d. The end of the pan portion is provided with a segmental wall 6 to cooperate with the segmental shield f. The shield f is detailed in Fig. 5' and consists simply of a hood that is provided with a segment of a cylinder with segments ofcircles to form the end walls. 9. These end Walls 9 are formed by the die which stamps this complete hood out so as to slightly converge, as shown in Fig. 6. This requires the spreading of these end walls to spring construction is under-.

. the

cheaply as it requires only'two separate them over the side walls of the pan section of the 'ash catcher. Consequently the spring nature of these distorted side walls of the hood section hold the hood upon the ash catcher. The segment of the cylinder f of the hood is struck on the same radius as the segmental wall e of the ash catcher. Consesuently the hood may swing down concentric with the segmental end wall of the pan and out of the way when so desired.

When the combined ash catcher and shield is used for smoking outdoors it will probably be advisable to raise the hood so as to shield the cigar or cigarette from the wind. One-of the advantages of the loose' pivoting of the shield to the pan is that when thegshield is raised the same may be fixed 'in various ositions. For instance, it is shown raised in Fig. 1 but it is possible to shove the shield down so that it projects as little as possible above the rest of the pan. Or for that matter, the shield if desired can be shoved toward the mouthpiece. lt may occupy various positions due to sim ly having a friction pivot. Obviously evice may be manufactured very stamplngs.

In the claims I have specified-a pan adapted for attachment to a cigar holder. This is merely a medium of description rather than limitation as obviously the pan could equally well be attached directly to the cigar and the holder omitted.

What 1 claim is:

1. A combined ash catcher and cigar shield, comprising a panportion adapted for attachment to a cigar holder, and a rotatably adjustable shield on the end of the pan rotating on an axis transversely of the length of the pan.

2. A combined ash catcher and cigar holder, comprising a pan provided with means for attachment to a cigar holder, a pan provided with an end wall in the form of a segment of a cylinder, and a hood formed of end walls and an intermediate wall in the form of a segment of a cylinder of Sit substantially the radius of the end of the pan, said shield being rotatably supported at the end of the pan to rotate on an axis transversely of the pan so that the shield and the end wall of the pan are concentric when they overlap.

3.A combined ash catcher and cigar shield, comprising a pan provided with a spring neck portion adapted to fit about a cigar holder, a diverging portion, a larger pan portion connected therewith, and a shield rotatably supported at the opposite end of the pan to rotate on an axis transversely of the pan and fixable in various positions of adjustment in its rotative movement.

4;. A combined ash catcher and cigar shield, comprising a. pan having at one end a neck portion in the form of a part cylinder with walls that can be spread to clamp same to a cigar holder, a diverging portion, a main pan portion connected therewith and which is provided at its outer end with a segmental wall in the form of a segment of a cylinder. and a hood rotatabiy supported at the end oi the pan portion on an axis transversely of the pan and provided with end walls and a connecting wall in the form of a segment a cylinder adapted to swing down and overlap the segmental end wall oi the pan, the two segments being generated on substantially the same radii.

5. A combined ash catcher and cigar shield, comprising a pan member provided with means for securing the same to a cigar holder, and a hood having end walls that are initially made to slightly converge and which require spreading to fit them over the side Walls of the pan, said end walls when fitting over the side walls of the pan serving to give the hood a friction pivot upon the pan so that the same can swing down over the end of the pan or be swung up to project above the end of the pan.

6. A combined ash catcher and cigar shield, comprising a pan member provided with means for attachment to a cigar holder and which has its outer end formed as a segment of a cylinder, and a hood formed by a pair of segments of a circle for the end walls and a segment of a cylinder for the intermediate wall, the said end walls of the hood being spread to fit over the side walls of the pan thereby giving the hood frictional pivoting upon the pan, said hood arranged to swing down in overlapping and concentric relation with respect to the end segment of the pan or be turned up to project at the top of the end of the pan.

in testimony whereof li afiix my signature.
